I am full-on obsessed with bowls. It is an easy way to get a ton of my vegetables in at one time and the bowls are usually gluten-free which is always a good thing in my diet.

Plus you can meal prep these bowls ahead of time so eating a healthy meal at lunch or dinner is super easy!

Mediterranean food has been so popular recently because of its health benefits and incredible flavors.

My daughter and I make these  Greek Chicken Gyros with Tzatziki Sauce at least once a week when she is home from college. Homemade tzatziki sauce is in our refrigerator at all times.

What ingredients are in Greek Chicken Bowls?

  • Grilled Lemon Chickenthe chicken is marinated in olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, greek yogurt, and spices to make it extra juicy and flavorful. You can also sautee honey chicken instead.
  • Grape TomatoesI love to use grape tomatoes and slice them in half lengthwise, lightly salt the tomatoes, and toss in the bowl.
  • Sliced Cucumbersuse any type of cucumber but the mini cucumbers are perfect in these bowls.
  • Red Onionsred onion adds so much flavor. I suggest slicing it into thin strips.
  • Feta Cheeseuse crumbled or block feta cheese that can be cut into squares.
  • Kalamata Olivesadd the perfect saltiness to these Greek bowls.
  • Tzatziki Saucea fresh, homemade tzatziki sauce made with greek yogurt, cucumber, garlic, lemon, EVOO, and spices.

If you want to add some filling carbs, you can add quinoa, rice, or couscous to the bowls.

How to make Greek Chicken Bowls:

  1.  Start by grilling or sauteeing chicken. I prefer to marinate my chicken for at least 30 minutes but 3-4 hours is ideal.  Once it is grilled or sauteed, wait 5 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to soak in. You can also make quick honey chicken in less than 15 minutes.
  2. Make the homemade tzatziki sauce.  You can use store-bought as well but this homemade tzatziki sauce is killer. Use unflavored and unsweetened Greek yogurt because this is similar to a dressing.  Also, make sure to squeeze out as much water as possible from the grated cucumber so the tzatziki sauce doesn’t become watery.
  3. To assemble bowls start with grilled chicken, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, and kalamata olives. Top with a generous amount of feta cheese and tzatziki sauce.
  4. These Greek Chicken Bowls can be made ahead of time and are perfect to put together on meal-prep Sundays.

    I made this for dinner last night. I followed the recipe with 2 minor variations: I added lemon zest to the marinade and used boneless skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts. It was a delicious dinner and enjoyed by the whole family! I’m looking forward to leftovers for lunch!

  2. 5 stars
    This recipe is my go to when I want something fresh and light! The chicken is so good, I always make extra. Homemade tzatziki is so easy that I don’t think I’ll ever buy it again!

  3. 5 stars
    This is such an amazing dish! So fresh, so flavorful, so easy and we all loved the texture and all that is going on in this bowl. Thanks for another great one!

    I found your instagram a few months ago (through Brooke Romney writes) and have been obsessively making your recipes. This is one we’ve already made 3 or 4 times. It’s amazing. We usually do a rice base, or lettuce.

    1. Awww thank you so much for following me and trying my recipes. That just made my day! Also thank you for taking the time to write reviews. You are awesome!

  5. What can I use instead of cucumber? That is one of the few vegetables I can’t eat. Could I use zucchini instead?
